I am surprised they didn’t go to court and demand her organs anyway.
yep.
A few days ago someone posted that 1/5th of those said to be “vegetables” recover... wow... how many never had the chance to recover?
That must have been quite a sight to see.
Here’s another, purportedly “brain dead”, comatose victim, with a much better outcome.
I heard Jimmy Akin on Catholic Answers say that that it’s looking like “brain death” was invented to make organ harvesting possible.
They reserve it for their victims.
I think the standard of “brain death” is deeply flawed, because it is known that when injured, the body secretes a large amount of a normally occurring chemical called GABA, that is *supposed* to shut down the injured part of the brain so that it can heal.
But when some people get a big release of GABA, it sensitizes all of their brain to the chemical, so it will stay shut down even with normal levels, and if there is no damage.
A sensitivity to GABA is now known to be responsible for many cases of “persistent coma”.
But far too little is known about brain trauma and awareness to assume that just because a brain isn’t currently working like a normal brain, it is “dead”.
I may just be “sleeping”.
Someone should book her to speak to out lame GOP. Maybe they’d decide to wthu.
Good opportunity to remind people that they cannot harvest organs from the dead, only from the living. Which is why they invented the nebulous notion of “brain death”, so they could convince families to let them butcher their still-living loved ones and parcel out their organs for profit.
Father Pacholczyk is wrong. The Catholic Church does NOT support harvesting organs in the case of “brain death.” Because anyone who really looks at it must admit that someone in that condition is not really dead.
The problem is that you can’t really harvest the organs very well after someone is really dead. They start to decay and go bad pretty quickly. So, they needed some sort of plausible sounding excuse for harvesting them while the victim is still living.
Being an organ donor sounds very generous on its surface, but it’s extremely dubious. And if you register as an organ donor, then you are subjecting yourself to a possible early death, because the doctors are more interested in your organs than your recovery.
It’s not just a religious matter, it’s also a scientific matter. Brain death is NOT real death. Maybe the patient will recover, maybe not. But he is not yet dead. Its just another piece of liberal duckspeak, twisting words for convenience, so you can do what you want to do and to hell with the facts or the moral rules.
Doctor wanted to let my relative pass. He communicates and recognizes people now. This since the summer months. He is 30.
Why do I think of
HAL: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.The above quote from the article makes it sound like there was some question as to whether or not she should be allowed to recover.
"I feel much better now. I am sure I'll be back to normal soon."
"Well, I don't know ..."
"No, realli. Look, I can jump horses."
"I'm not sure that is really a sufficent reason we ..."
"But I'll get my own apartment. I'll work hard. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, let me live."
OK, we'll try it for a few weeks and see if you will be allowed to go on." [muttering: but we were really counting on having your liver]
Back in the Middle Ages, this would happen and people would be buried alive. Later it was discovered that the inside of the casket would be damaged due to the person trying to escape and a string was put in the caskets linked to a bell on the top of the grave... hence the term “dead ringer”....
Wow. Thanks for posting this.
“I’m still using it!”

VULTURES! At least real vultures wait until the carrion is actually dead. This is why I am 100% against ever donating any organs. My DL says NO!!!
